When life gets you down, there’s nothing better than coming home and cozying up next to the one who loves you, holds you down, and just gets it. That’s why it makes our hearts smile to see these celebrity couples loving, and living, through life’s inevitable ups and downs.

From here on out, ESSENCE will be serving up a recap of the best celebrity Black love moments of the week. This week, there’s much to celebrate.
